Answer:

Explanation:

Equation of a line:

The equation of a line in point-slope form has the following format:

y - y0 = m(x - x0)

In which m is the slope and the point is (x0,y0).

Line parallel to y = -2x - 3

This line has slope -2.

When two lines are parallel, the multiplication of their slopes is -1. So

-2m = -1
